Take your time reading the page and clicking on the requirements for each Option.  The more time you spend becoming educated about our Options, the better prepared you are in paying LESS for your steel building.

Since we couldn't possibly list every combination of building sizes on the website using our current system, we would encourage you to choose the closest size available if you are trying to remain in Option 1 or 2.

If you absolutely require a specific size not posted, you are in Option 3 Custom Quote. Whether you choose option 1,2 or 3, you will receive a quote of Factory Steel Overstock's actual wholesale cost. You will then be allowed to recommend a profit of 5, 7, 10, 15 or 20%.
